Insurance Commissioner

Insurance commissioner (or commissioner of insurance) is an executive office in many U.S. states, some in the state cabinet. The office differs state by state:

  • In some states insurance commissioner is a constitutional office established by state constitution; in other states the office was created by state statute;
  • In some states the insurance commissioner is an elected official; in other states they are appointed by the state governor;
  • In some states the insurance department or division is autonomous; in other states such a department is part of a larger body.

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) is a professional association for these individuals.

Famous quotes containing the word insurance:

    “In taking out an insurance policy one pays for it in dollars and cents, always at liberty to discontinue payments. If, however, woman’s premium is a husband, she pays for it with her name, her privacy, her self-respect, her very life, “until death doth part.””
    —Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
